Fasting in countries where the day is long
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Do the people of a country where the day lasts up to twenty hours have to fast the entire day in Ramadan?
Answer:
Yes, if night and day pass within twenty-four hours, even if the night is short, the day must be fasted and the night must be broken, even if the day is long and the night is short, meaning the night is only a few hours and the day is longer. As for a country where neither night nor day passes within twenty-four hours, such as the countries where they say the day is six months and the night is six months, these are measured by the nearby country that has night and day. Yes.
